[Tlhingan-hol] {-Ha'} with {-Qo'}

[Fiat Knox]

Grammatically, you can get away with this combination of suffixes. -Ha' goes immediately after the verb, which sounds as if that means that it is injected just before the Type 1 to Type 9 suffixes; and -Qo' goes into the list after all other verb suffixes except a Type 9, so it would be injected between the Type 8 and Type 9, and it is considered a rover because it is the imperative form of -be'.

I could see it being used in {HIlobHa'Qo'} /Don't you disobey me!/ by an angry parent, or as a warning to someone about to do something foolish - {naDev SutlIj yItuQHa'moHQo'!} /Don't get undressed HERE!/

I imagine that, for those times when one hasn't the time to rephrase something in a positive way - {HIlob!} or {naDev bItuQtaHnIS} - you can still get away with using -Ha' and -Qo' together.
